长沙考古出土一批宋代卷木胎漆器的保护修复

The Conservation and Restoration of a Batch of Archaeologically Excavated Song Dynasty Wrapped-Wood Lacquer Wares Unearthed in Changsha

宋代是汉代以后又一个漆器繁荣时期,但此前全国出土宋代卷木夹纻胎漆器数量较少。近几年来,湖南长沙科学发掘出土了多批宋代卷木夹纻胎漆器。在对36件漆器开展保护修复的过程中,发现其中多件书或刻有铭文,具有十分重要的文物价值。该批漆器存在饱水、糟朽、残缺和变形等病害。在选取多个漆器样品之后,对其材质、微观结构、含水率等进行科学检测,提取文物信息,评估保存现状,并且开展清洗、整形、脱水、拼接、胎体及漆面修复等工作,已完成全部36件漆器的保护修复,再现了文物原状。既为考古人员整理发掘资料提供支持,也为学界研究宋代素胎漆器提供了重要的实物资料。同时,保护修复该批漆器所总结的经验,还能为同类型漆器的保护修复提供参考。
